Equalization Act Almost Fails in House
In Little Rock the House defeated a $366,720 annual appropriation for the Tax Assessment Coordination Department, a setback to the 1955 equalization act. The 68-22 vote fell short of the 99 needed, with Gov Faubus calling it a bid to derail timely tax measures.
